Robin Wood is an internationally respected wood worker specialising in use of local timbers and traditional techniques, but with a distinctive modern twist.

Using a foot-powered lathe, Robin turns stylish, but functional bowls and plates. His extensive research into the history of the craft led to publication of the definitive book on the history of the wooden bowl.

Inspired by Scandinavian techniques, Robin and his wife Nicola teach spoon carving with knives and axes. Robin also makes individually hand-crafted benches, stiles, bridges and other countryside furniture.

Artisan of the Year 2009 Robin has won the top accolade in this award run by Country Living Magazine and Balvenie Whisky more here >
